' being provided for removably supporting the opper and adjusting thesupporting means in accordance with the size of the hopper.

Another object of the invention is the provision of novel means forattaching the sack to be hereinafter more fully described, illustratedin the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of the invention showing a sackin filling position.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1, the manner ofattaching the sack being illustrated by dotted lines.

Figure 3 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the hopper carriedattaching member.

Figure 5 is a like view showing the frame carried member for removablyreceiving the hopper carried member.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of referencedenote corre sponding parts, the holder or support as shown comprises amain frame which includes vertically disposed standards 10. The upperends of these standards are connected by bars 11 and by arched bars l2,the latter serving to detachably support the hopper 13 for conveniencein filling a sack.

The hopper 13 includes relatively inclined walls and is open at the topand bottom and has attached thereto angle bars 14, from which extendhock-shaped fingers 15. These fingers are detachably engaged with U-shaped members 16 which are clamped to the bars 12 as shown at 17, sothat the hopper 13 is removably supported by the archshaped bars. Theopposite ends of the bars 12 extend through the upper ends of thestandards and are provided with stop collars 18 and nuts 19. The bars 12may thus be pivotally adjusted in the upper ends of the standards sothat different size hoppers may be accommodated for the use of difierentmaterials.

Pivotally mounted in the main supporting frame as shown at 20 is one endof a relatively movable frame 21. This frame is substantially U-shapedin plan and has extending therefrom a bolt 22. Slidingly mounted uponthis bolt is a handle 23 and this handle carries an extension 24 whichengages beneath and supports one end of a stretcher frame 25. Theopposite end of this frame is pivotally mounted within the movable frame21 as shown at 26, so that the frame 25 may be moved independently ofthe frame 21, or both frames may be simultaneously moved when the frame25 is engaged by the extension in the handle 23.

Mounted upon the bolt 22 beneath the head thereof and the inner end of asocket 27 provided in the handle is a coiled spring 28 which serves toyieldingly force the handle inward. A steel or other cable 29 connectsthe frame 25 with one of the bars 12, as shown at 30.

In order to support the frame 21 in horizontal position, chains orcables 31 are secured to theframe 21 and to the bar 12 as shown at 32.This securing means is in the form of a hook 23 which engages over aU-shaped member carried by the bar 12.

The frame 21 is provided with hooks 33,

while the frame 25 is provided with hooks 3% for engagement by the upperedges of a sack 3:. A supporaing platform is arranged to be engaged byand support the lower end of the sack. This platform includes archedbars 36 whose opposite ends are secured to the lower ends of thestandards 10. Rods 3'? connect these bars and provide a platform for thesack. The platform thus serves both as a support for the sack and takesthe strain off of the upper end, andspaci'ng means for the lower ends ofthe standards 10.

hen it is desired to attach a sack in position for filling, the handle23, is pulled outward to release the frame 25 from the extension 24.This frame 25 willrthen drop downward to the position shown by. thedotted lines in Figure 2.

The sack may then be secured to the hooks and 3%- as shown by thedotted'lines inthe said-figure and when the stretcher frame 25 is raisedand again engaged by the extension 24, the mouth of the bag will berelatively taut and close beneath the frames 21 and25. If desired, theframe 21 may also be pivotally lowered by disengaging the hoolr- 23. Ifit desired to pack the material closely. within the bag, theliool: 23'may be disengagedand tl e frame 21 manipulated to shake the bag andshake the contents thereof downward to e bottom.

.; no standards 10 are snpportedupon roll? ho holder.

The invention is susceptible of. various reserved'to make such changesasproperly fZIllW-ltlllfi the scope of the'app ended claims. described theinvention what is cl aimed s 1. In a sack holder, a main supportingframe, a relatively movable frame, means topivotally secure one end ofthe relatively movable frame to the main frame, means to detachablysecure the other end ofthe relatively movable frame to the main frame, a

stretcher frame carried by the movable tively movable frame to the mainframe, a

stretcher frame carried by the movable movable frame, a handle movablysecured to the movable frame, and means carriedby the handle to engageand support one end of the stretcher frame.

3. In a sack holder, a main supporting frame, a relatively movable framepivotally ms 35; and casters 89 for conveniently. moving securedthereto, releasable means to support the movable frame in horizontalposition, a stretcher frame arranged Within and having one end pivotallysecured to the movable frame, means carried by the movable and stretcherframes for engagement with the sack, means to hold the stretcher frameagainst independent pivotal movement, a handle for the movable frame,and means carried by the handle to support the other end of tiestretcher frame.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
